26. Science Academy study: It has been demonstrated that with natural methods, some well-managed farms are able to reduce the amounts of synthetic fertilizer and pesticide and also of antibiotics they use without necessarily decreasing yields; in some cases yields can be increased.

Critics: Not so. The farms the academy selected to study were the ones that seemed most likely to be successful in using natural methods. What about the farmers who have tried such methods and failed?

Which one of the following is the most adequate evaluation of the logical force of the critics' response?


(B) The critics show the result of the study would have been different if twice as many farms had been studied.

(E) The issue is only to show that something is possible, so it is not relevant whether the instances studied were representative.




The ans. is E.

我觉得题目在问评价评论家说的话的事件
而评论家的立论指出选择实验样本有偏差
所以我选B

而以 科学家的实验来看
是馑证实something is possible
E 也正确

麻烦大牛解释E对的原因
我那ㄦ想错了

Basically you are right . I mean the understanding of the stimulate and question but you got wrong about the answer : "if twice as many farms had been studied" . Which refers to the quantity of sample rather than the criteria of the sample.  E. Just as you said, the critic points out that the instances studied were representative.
